COVID-19 Admission Questions

Although much in the world has changed this spring, one thing remains consistent at
Saint Louis University: We are excited for you to be a Billiken.

We know you might have a lot of questions about this summer and fall at SLU, especially
if next year will be your first year of college. We've provided answers to questions
we're hearing frequently below. If your question is not addressed, please contact
us at admission@slu.edu so we can be in touch. Please also visit our admission and admitted student pages
for more information and to connect with other current and future Billikens.

Applicants for Summer/Fall 2020

Admission decisions can be made with the coursework and grades provided on a seven-semester
transcript. Final transcripts are due prior to registration for the second semester
at SLU. Please note that at this time, all documents must be submitted electronically.

For students applying for summer or fall 2020 admission, December 1, 2019, was the
priority date for admission and scholarships at SLU. If you still wish to apply for
admission for this summer or fall and cannot take the ACT or SAT, we will work with
you to obtain residual ACT testing if we are able.

Admitted Students Summer/Fall 2020

We can accept other methods of official or unofficial transcript submission, such
as screenshots and photos. Your admission counselor can help you with this process.
Final transcripts are due prior to registration for the second semester at SLU.

We are currently planning to have in-person courses this fall. In the event that we
are not able to, students will be well supported through their online experience.
Our advisors, tutors, writing center and many other services are still accessible
for students taking online courses.

We recognize that the current public health crisis may bring unexpected financial
hardships to students and their families, and we are committed to supporting students
during this challenging time. Students facing financial hardships are encouraged to
contact the Office of Student Financial Services at sfs@slu.edu.

We are continuing to operate as planned, but please be assured of our commitment to
work with you and your family. Please note that some programs anticipate reaching
capacity, so it is important to submit your deposit by May 1 in order to secure your
place. Contact your admission counselor with any questions.

Enhanced cleaning and sanitation procedures have been implemented for all common areas
on campus and will continue as long as is deemed necessary. All buildings on the north
campus are now card-access only. A consolidated housing plan, developed in conjunction
with public health professionals, has been implemented for students who were granted
exemptions to remain on campus.
